Its one of these http://www.cbsonline.co.uk/product/B....750%22_MAK750 3/4" and it'll mount in the tunnel. It looks very similar to a Wilwood kit that is available but I won't know till I get a look.

To be paired at the moment with a CNC slace. I was just after being lazy with some measurements really, fabbing a mount from 3mm plate shouldn't be difficult once Ive got some in there.

I see speedshop have released some more throttle bodies too, though I don't know how recent it is. I'm really impressed with their stuff and its excellent value once the price is factored in, certainly in comparison to Jenvey.

I was actually more impressed with Speedshop's design then I was with the Jenveys design/quality after several years of N/A and turbo use...

And thats even before price considerations.

So hopefully he will get around making something for us T4 engine users. Fingers crossed.

Interesting stuff Wally - I'm always interested to hear comments like that when everyone else in the world seems to go straight to Jenvey when they need something. I guess they serve to bring FI to those people who have used Webers/Dells all their life.

Dean, I never really realised how heavy cable clutches were till my purchase of the Bora, moved my mum's Polo off the drive and was amazed how light the hydraulics make even a big diesel clutch.
